Hey man. That was indeed what is was inspired from. I do not recall exactly where I saw that again though.
Also, the original idea was to make it transformable from the Banshee, while that is not yet a success, still working to try and make something out of that.
And attached the dummy unit to your unit I reckon? Aah 200 èh. I've checked what I have used on mine, its 100. I can check what 200 will do for my machine, while testing with still a high end platform enabled. but thanks mate!
Very nice looking Protoss cityworld there. Very nice indeed. Also nice video you make for it.
I also have his old map that uses a third person view and I would like to ask you something. What amount of far clip do you use in that video? I also have the issue that far clip can't be too great and as a result I have no skybox...
Also if I may suggest, you can make the time of day blend in over time.
I try to make more custom stuff just as you describe, can't always say I get around to it, whatever the reason might be. But when I get a moel like this out, it does make me feel a sense of pride, haha. I however often times can't be bothered with portraits though...
I come here because I'd like to rattle up an age-old question, namely: How do I use ModelAdditions nowadays.
I'll explain what my simple brain was trying to do, but utterly failed at. I'm working on a big set of models for which I want to create a modular game setup where I can apply model swaps only for the part that actually needs to change. Refer to the Image 1 below. For the Goliath model below, I want to swap out the weapon parts, depending on the chosen weapon {for instance: flamer, cannon or gattling gun} and this must be able to be done independendly between the left and right weapon, and all option can exist. Which means a Goliath could have 2x flamer, or 1x flamer + 1x gattling, or 1x flamer + 1x Cannon etc...
As you see I rather just change the specific weapon part, otherwise the permutations of options grows exponenttially high.
The models are all animated from the same framework, just split up as separate .m3 models. So importing them in the editor and combining them in the cutscene editor makes the unit look as intended, refer to image 2, and image 3 shows all the models in separate working,
However, try as I might, I can't even get the Goliath to show up with the attached weapon model parts, in the terrain where I place it as a unit. I've tried using the "Actor Creation / Attach Model" actor event on the Goliath actor and have that point to a "Model Addition" actor that holds the model of the specific weapon part. However it doesn't work. And looking through the thousand-and-one stuff that one can do in actors and whatnot... I really have no clue where to begin with this.
Can someone help me out with how I can properly setup the unit with model additions?

Image 2 - A Goliath wielding dual Cannons
Image 3 - Three separate models with equal animations for combining
Going through an old map sometimes yields some cool models. And this time I really wanted to recreate them with some variations. So without further ado, welcome the Minibots. (Credits for the original: AlleyViper85) And now also adding the Sentry Bots.

Among a large re-upload are also 2 model that were not yet released.
first up is the Banshee, a simple reskin, however some new projects are underway here for the future.
Second is a conventionally skinned MRLS.

Thank you kindly sir!

I'm inclined to say GhostNova or Trikodias or some folk like that made one.
Not sure about the TC though

The Liberator Cruiser joins the fray!
For those who'd like to know: The model has the transformations incorporated into the one model.
